Patricia Richardson, Home Improvement...She was eating with her family at Bucca di Beppo in Santa Monica. I was with my daughter and her friends. One of her friends went to the restroom at the same time as Patricia Richardson and asked her for her autograph. She refused and griped at my daughter's friend for bothering her in the restroom.

Patricia Richardson Character: Jill Taylor You'd be forgiven for only remembering Patricia Richardson as poised, understanding Jill Taylor on Home Improvement - we can't quite recall anything else she's been in either. We did some digging and it turns out she's spent the last few years appearing in various made for TV movies. She also, notably, had a brief stint on The West Wing.
